Teachers and pupils are protesting at the cuts that is being made to the schools building budget. Fine words from the public sector, that generates NO money for it’s own existence. The public sector seem to think there is a bottomless pit of money to keep it going, when the UK is actually borrowing heavily just to keep the public sector going. The public sector has bled the shrinking private sector dry, Labour spent all the money, the UK is broke. Can’t the public sector accept this?!?
